Bayworld (Nelson Mandela Bay Museum & Oceanarium)
Overview & Capacity
Bayworld is the Bay's wow-backdrop specialty venue - a museum, oceanarium and snake-park complex on the Humewood beachfront, four kilometres from the airport, with a genuine six-room Exhibitions & Events Centre from a boardroom up to the Rotunda. A gala dinner among the exhibits or a launch with the Dinosaur Hall as set-dressing is something a hotel simply can't offer, and municipal pricing makes it affordable. Capacity figures differ across sources, so B&W confirms the top-end number and the catering model before contracting. For a themed corporate event that wants a memorable setting on a budget, it's the Bay's under-used card.
